AKAI PRO MPC ONE - How To Humanize Melodies & Swing Drums

  • A tutorial video about how to humanize melodies and add swing to drums in the AKAI pro MPC ONE. It's a simple process that will have your sequence sounding live (like a band). This is great for guitar strumming (considering you pick the guitar strum progression for realistic guitar playing!) or for a real piano player feel. The sounds I used for the instruments are a part of the F9 expansion. You need to register your MPC One at the official AKAI professional website to download. I highly recommend putting the expansion on a SD Card to save space (it's a huge library of sounds!). How do you feel about this tutorial? Please leave a comment below!

    Great tips. These days my MPC is basically an 8 track recorder. Thoroughly recommend using some outboard sequencers and setting different sequence lengths for a drum sound or two. Eg, run the hi hat at 15 with the bass on 32 steps.

  • @TeraGreene1
    @TeraGreene1 3 года назад

    Thank you for this oldie, but goodie. May I ask: Does swing only get applied to the one track we apply it to or when I apply it, it gets applied to the rest of my tracks?
    I ask because I've played around with swing, but it seems to modify multiple tracks, not just the one I'm trying to focus on. Maybe I'm doing something incorrectly? Thank you for your time! :-)
    EDIT: what was that you said about layering? 11:20.... maybe I was accidentally doing this? hmmm

      @@tamarastanley8391 Well I'm sure they will allow live users to purchase it. Also, I strongly disagree about the current MPC sound selection. I've made several great beats using just the plugins. I hate to say it but there's far too many crybabies in the community who point finger and never find solutions. People need to spend more time creating and stop complaining. There literally a solution for everything production wise in the current MPC line up. Those same people cream about older gear that had less features. This is why only a hand full of people can make a career out of production in a nut shell.

  • @robinkaissner7814
    @robinkaissner7814 4 года назад

    two questions: Can you apply the swing just to individual pads, for example the hats only, or just to the whole selected track (which usually contains kick snare etc as well)? If you add swing to a drum track like you did, and afterwards you overdub some hat for example with TC on, so will the swing be applied automatically to the newly played parts or do you have to apply swing a second time to the drum track?

    • @louie1litk619
      @louie1litk619 4 года назад

      Robin Kaissner yeah you can adjust the tc for every pad individually

    • @louie1litk619
      @louie1litk619 4 года назад

      Yeah, there several ways to transfer MIDI from the MPC one the a computer. You can export the MIDI, hook it up to your DAW via controller mode, or just hook it up to your audio interface via MIDI in.
      Edit: you can hook it up external keyboard and sound modules too
